Hacked – Trump Fish

A fish that kind of looks like Trump, when you shake it it spurts a Trump quote.

Note: This project was made before the results of the elections were known. I don’t know if it’s more or less appropriate now, hope this doesn’t get me on too many lists.

Hacked toy made from a ready-made plastic fish, gutted, and fitted with a cell phone with a shake controlled mp3 player. Later exchanged for an arduino with a sd card reader, mp3 decoder module, and amplifier circuit connected to a small speaker and acceleormeter.

I tried playing entire speeches and specific sound bytes. It’s interesting to note that not all people recognize the fish as Trump, but as soon as the fish speaks most subjects agreed that he does kind of look like him.
